Get to Know the Local Breweries Pouring at the Art Wine & Beer Festival Buena Vista Brewing Company ocated in the heart of Santa Cruz, Buena Vista Brewing Co is a familyowned business looking to share with you, what has brought us together. It all started as a weekly gathering with family and friends, creating craft beer recipes with our favorite ingredients. It soon grew into something we needed to share with all. Melding culture with beer to share in your backyard! Brew Thursday. That’s what started it all. Brothers coming together to create tasty craft beer to share with all. After late nights of softball, weekend grilling, juntando para el chisme, it was our craft beer that brought us together for those good times. Uniting Latin culture and craft beer is our dream. Thank you for helping it become our reality

Discretion Brewing e are a Family-Owned Company Dedicated to Handcrafted Exquisite Beer. Once upon a time, and again and again, we gathered around the old kitchen table and dreamed of starting a business that would allow us to work together as a family. The business would be guided by the qualities of wisdom, wit, and kindness, rooted in the community that has nurtured us all our lives, and dedicated to producing goodness. After a world-wide search, we found our brew master, Michael, who shared our quest for excellence and elegance and had deep roots in Santa Cruz. We each brought their own gifts to the table, and Discretion Brewing was born. For millennia, that most ancient and jolly of beverages has been drawing people together, encouraging them to share their stories and to find comfort and refreshment in each other. That’s why we brew and what we hope our beer does for you.

When science and art are skillfully wedded, delicious consistency, clean balance, and exciting flavors and aromas result. We respect tradition but are not constrained by it. Irrespective of style, all Discretion beers have a recognizable, essential quality that draws people to them Elegant. Solar-powered. High Quality Ingredients. Brewed with love. Our ingredients are carefully sourced to support sustainable farming, a choice that’s good for the earth and its people as well as the beer. We are the first Santa Cruz brewery to invest in solar power, harnessing the power of the sun to brew our beer. Water is precious, and we treat it that way. We are constantly seeking ways to lessen water usage. We divert 100% of our spent grain to local farms where very lucky pigs feast on the goodness left over after a brew day, sparing the landfill over 225,000 pound of grain a year. Grandsons like to nibble on it, too! Faultline Brewing Co. aultline blasted onto the microbrew scene in December of 1994. The goal was to create a fine dining experience that focused on handcrafted beers and food that could be described as contemporary eclectic. The goal was an elegant, yet approachable menu that complimented our wide variety of beer styles. Since then, Faultline has maintained its reputation for beer and food that satisfies the senses. Our venue offers a wide variety of options when it comes to drinking and dining. Our large dining room has plenty of available seating for parties of 20 or more. The view is surprising, to say the least, with an outdoor dining patio that overlooks a manmade lake with a very welcoming vibe. Our bar is equipped with more than 25 televisions to give Bay Area sports fans a great place to gather. If you need to host a corporate gathering or dinner, we have a spacious banquet room available for semi-private or private bookings.

Greater Purpose Brewing Company reater Purpose Brewing Company is a place where every pour has a purpose. A portion of our profits each month will be allocated to five local/ and/or national charities for social justice, environmental efforts, social equality, and community service. Greater Purpose is funded by an interfaith social justice community known as the Greater Purpose Community Church though our brewery is NOT a church! With the skyrocketing cost of living in our community, Greater Purpose sold their sanctuary to fund a taproom that would use its income to support community service organizations. They did this to remove the choice between leisure and philanthropy for many locals that have limited disposable income. At Greater Purpose, every purchase accomplishes both. That is why we say at Great Purpose Brewing Company we “Pour with Purpose”.

Highway 1 Brewing Company ighway 1 Brewing Company is the brainchild of Jeff & Melissa Page.

brewers and owners. Well, what can we say? Strong women brew strong beer. We have great male brewers, as well., Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing is proud to produce an American made product that is putting people to work locally. With twelve employees, we are a small but efficient operation. Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing. An award winning, local, certified organic brewery. Yes, beer helps the economy. Buy local. Drink up. Feel good about organic beer. And thanks for supporting your local, neighborhood brewery. Shanty Shack Brewing o-Owners Brandon Padilla & Nathan Van Zandt first met while Brandon was working at 7 Bridges, the home brew supply store in Santa Cruz. N a t h a n would come in to purchase ingredients and he and Brandon would talkshop, discussing different recipes. A few months later they recognized each other in a business class at Cabrillo College. By chance, they were both there because they both wanted to start a professional brewery one day. The two quickly became home brew partners. Nathan lived in a dilapidated shack on Chanticleer Avenue where they first began brewing and the name “Chanti Shack” came about to describe their brews. Meanwhile, Brandon lived in a run-down church on Pennsylvania Avenue which was coined “The Beer Church”. They threw parties with live music & burlesque dancers to show case their beer. They catered weddings by pouring their unique creations for the guests. What started as a hobby swiftly grew into a business. They formed a CSB (Community Supported Brewery), and their neighbors and friends called them the “Milkman but for beer” as they delivered different flavors of beer to doorsteps on a bi-weekly basis.

Scotts Valley Rotary Shows Appreciation to Our Essential Workers S erving to Change Lives” — that is the new vision that the Rotary Club of Scotts Valley recently voted on for this year. This vision is in line with many of the projects the club has been doing in the past years, increasing focus on youth education and adding new causes: “Together we work to make the world better. Our causes are youth and the environment. We empower women and educate our youth to become leaders in their community and stewards of the environment.” Recently, the Rotary Club of Scotts Valley has been giving thanks to the community. Club members brought meals and snacks recently to the Scotts Valley Unified School District Office (SVUSD), SV Police Department, and to the SV Fire District to show their appreciation for the

extraordinary services provided to our community especially during the Pandemic and the CZU Fire. The Rotary Club also wants to extend their gratitude to all of the essential workers who continue to help keep our community safe during this still challenging time. At the club’s first in-person meeting this July, members welcomed new member, Susan Riddle of Bay Federal Credit Union. They also presented Tanya Krause (Superintendent of the SV Unified School District) and Sira Taylor (Realtor) with their Blue Badges. This ceremony signifies that completion of certain tasks and that they are no longer considered “new members” of the Club. Congratulations! The Rotary International and Rotary Club of Scotts Valley’s motto is “Service Above Self” and members look forward to serving the community in whatever way they are able during this time. The club meets on most Mondays from 12:00 to 1:15 p.m. The club previously met at the Four Points Sheraton on Scotts Valley Drive but started meeting on Zoom since “Shelter in Place” began. They hope to return to the Sheraton by the Fall. If you would like to know more about Rotary or may be interested in joining the Club, they would love to invite you to come as their guest. For a Zoom link, contact Club President Patrizia Materassi at (831) 334-2383 or email her at mpatrizia2@ gmail.com.
